Total Honda Mag - getting ready for Issue 2 - Get involved & more
A very long update folks so please bear with us.
We are going to press shortly with the May-June issue (issue 2 on sale 28th April) and we wanted to remind everyone how they can enter Idol, place for sale/ wanted adverts or submit their car for Readers Drives and take advantage of our NEW online search for magazines stockists.
IDOL 2011
Submit your car for Round 1, prize package worth over £2000 plus a cover feature. Round 1 will appear in the upcoming issue and there is still time to enter.
Enter here : Total Car Magazines | Impreza | Evolution | Nissan | Honda. Magazines for Japanese performance enthusiasts. Page 22.
TRADING POST
List free classified adverts in the magazine - either for sale or wanted.
Use this form : Total Car Magazines | Impreza | Evolution | Nissan | Honda. Magazines for Japanese performance enthusiasts. Page 26.
READERS' DRIVES
Submit your car for readers' drives online (we also look at these entries for full features).
Send us your car details here : Total Car Magazines | Impreza | Evolution | Nissan | Honda. Magazines for Japanese performance enthusiasts. Page 25.
STOCKISTS
After a few launch hiccups (more details to be found on this link, but in a nutshell, many newsagents, having never seen the magazine before, returned the magazine thinking they had been sent it in error - we managed to get the shops restocked which is highly unusual).
ALSO : you can now search online for stockists here : Total Car Magazines | Impreza | Evolution | Nissan | Honda. Magazines for Japanese performance enthusiasts. Page 27..
We apologise to anyone who could not locate the launch issue. We are offering the launch issue for £4 with free UK P&P from our website - see the current issue section.
From the May-June issue (issue 2) we will also be stocked in over 150 of the biggest Martin McColl shops as well as in WH Stores - you can find the issue 2 store list on the above search facility from 3rd May - we will post nearer the time as a reminder - but until then it is the stockists for issue 1 that appear in the search.
NEWSLETTER
If you haven't already, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter. Why sign up? Well for example, in the March issue we not only gave everyone a £5 voucher for our online shop, we have also included exclusive savings from some of our advertisers. We also give details on features appearing in the next issue and important information concerning the magazine. You can sign up here : Total Car Magazines : Mailing List Signup
FEEDBACK SURVEY
You can take part in our reader survey (if you have read issue 1) - just email lesley@totalcarmagazines.co.uk and I will send you the link for the survey. We have been getting some valuable feedback on what is commonly liked and disliked.
A common issue is the Green 2002 Civic was not what the majority want to see (we didn't include this feature because we thought it was current - it was a story about "Changing Times" and how by the time the owner finished the car the scene had changed) but we have a huge variety of car features planned for issue 2.
Most readers want more history and technical feature - we will do! Some good features coming up in issue 2.
Most readers have advised they want true owners cars and bit show pieces - we have a few of these planned also
Photography - As most of our readers will know, we work closely with the clubs and forums and a lot of the images used come direct from the owners and are not of professional quality as you would imagine. We don't want to lose this relationship or stop using the content as most of the readers gave feedback that this was one of the favourite sections - but we will work with our design team to use the images better in future to try and gain better quality.
GET IN TOUCH
Remember, the best way to get in touch with us is via our website. We don't monitor the forum every day and we have a very, very active spam filter!
